Michael Fiedler - Operating MongoDB

In this session, Mike will walk through best practices for MongoDB production configurations. He'll work through several model operational scenarios, covering maintenance tasks, backups, recovery processes, and performance monitoring.

We'll also cover design patterns that have been seen in the wild, and discuss hardware deployment considerations.

I thought this was a talk about operating MongoDB, but it was about deployment scripts. I think if the speaker is going to change the topic, the Meetup description should be changed so that people can opt out or opt in.

Great talk. Started with a recap of devops via chef and dove into some specifics about election of a new master mongod node in case of failure. Hands on demonstration of all aspects talked about.Would have appreciated maybe a little more about administering the cluster per-se. Overall I walked away with more confidence that I could handle an problem in a mongo cluster.
